The Girls mixing up the Horse fed for Andrea.

Today we were super busy! It was Brighton Marathon and we got up early to help Andrea feed her horses, We then scooted to Town to follow the marathon and see Kelly come in.

On the way a lady gave us some delicious cake and we stopped and munched that, It was soooooo hot that when we finally hit town Mummy let us choose a Ice Cream at Boho Gelato in Pool Valley, It really was delicious!

Then we went to Choccywoccydoodah to choose Auntie Jo some Chocolates and then to Krispy Kreme to get some delicious donuts to take to Jo and Murphy's barbeque.

Having a donut with the family!
Tilly and her Cousin Daisy! (5yrs & 6yrs)

Susie's Birthday!

Mummy is hi-jacking the blog and being a guest poster today!

I had not updated the blog for a few days before I went to Brighton as Our friend Susie was turning 30 and her Husband Stuart had organised a surprise party for her and he had asked me to make her cake, Iam rubbish - as most of you know at keeping secrets so I did not upload anything as we had been getting things ready and I know I would have some how let it slip!


Oh Yes Susie that is sooooooooo you!

We started Susie's birthday celebrations, With a powers hopping trip, Stuart had organised a surprise girls lunch at a tapas bar in Banbury, and Sam and Liz Susie's other friends turned up too! It was lovely to spend the day with the other Mummy's and Met Susie's other friends, we had a gorgeous lunch and wine!- Thank You Mr Harper!
Poutalicious!
The Girls at the Tapas Bar.


The Wonky Cake!

The top layer is chocolate and the middle is fruit and the bottom was lemon, it was meant to be like a wonky wedding cake, but it was quite fiddly to do, and probably needed a few more layers to look effective, but I was pleased with the outcome!
Susie and her party popper hair!
The cake after Susie put the knife to it!
Tils and Liv checking out the cake....what a surprise!!!
Daddy laughing...hahaha
Tils transfering Apple juice -it is not beer!
We returned home to get ready (and collect the kids!) for Susie's surprise Barbeque, Stuart had made it really nice, with gazebos to cover us from the intermittant rain all day! The food was fab too! Emma had made some Tea Light lanterns and the other Emma had made some scrummy pavlovas, Jenny brought some Olives and bread and Treats too so we all chipped in!
Olivia was going to stay at our house after the party ut after a little bit of head banging she decided it would probably be best to saty with Mummy and Daddy! Thank you so Much for a wonderful day!

Thunder and lightning and a BBQ!

We woke up to find Elsie could climb the first step! Stair gate time!!!
We stayed in this morning and Tils painted the bowl and mug set Christian had bought for her Christening gift - My enamel bath was trashed!!!But Tils really enjoyed it!!! Then we pottered about in the garden and walked to town with Jenny and Katie and Alice, Tils and Alice took their scoots! Tils took to using her new shoes to stop the scooter which made mummy very happy! NOT!!!



The girls were really good and then we went home and tried to prepare our food as we were having a bbq, Tils decided she needed a sleep if she was having a late night so she went up stairs to 'read' a book queitly!!!


The children did some dressing up and played inside while the Daddie's kept the Barbie alight!... I Like the brolly Stu -pot!


Susie and Stuart and the girls, Mark & Emma and Jenny, Marcus, Alice and Katie, we got a bit done around the house and were all ready to relax in the garden ....when the thunder and lightening started!!! Daddy presevered and the food was Ggggrrrrreat!!!!

Tils and her friend Liv playing with the hair box, we ended up spending most of the night inside! booohoooo!

Today we walked to town with Susie, Penny, Katie and Jenny Whilst Liv and Alice were at school, we had to stop at the library on the way and Tils had tired legs so she hopped up on the front of the old buggy (Mummy needed to get a few bits so we needed the basket) Once we had done what we needed to do in town we stopped at the park for a rest and some of Susie's lunch!
and then walked home so That Tils could go to school, Mummy had to get details for the table top sale she is doing this weekend to try and sell some of our old junk!...Mainly baby bits! Then whilst Tils was at school Hannah came round to get her hair done and Mummy went out into the garden.

We collected Tils from school and then played in the garden some more, then Daddy came home and we had a BBQ ....Only Elsie could not wait to be fed and helped herself to some of Mark and Emma's delicious Mud! YUM YUM!
